Concept check PDLC part 3

Front

What are structure diagrams used for?

Back

Structure diagrams are used to visually represent top-down design and hierarchical representations of how a computer system solution may be broken down into sub-systems.

Front

What do flowcharts depict?

Back

Flowcharts diagrammatically depict the actions that must be taken to complete a task and the sequence in which they must be done.

Front

What is a trace table?

Back

A trace table is a technique used to test algorithms, showing variables and the subsequent values of the variables for each input.

Front

What is pseudocode?

Back

Pseudocode is a text-based representation of an algorithm or program's logic using human-readable language.

Front

What is the first step in designing a solution to a problem?

Back

The first step is to thoroughly understand the problem you need to solve.

Front

What is the purpose of iteration and refinement in the design process?

Back

To review and identify any issues or optimizations in the structure diagrams, flowcharts, and pseudocode.

Front

What should be done after creating a well-documented plan?

Back

You can proceed to implement the solution in a programming language.

Front

What is the assignment operator?

Back

The assignment operator is used to assign a value to an item/variable using the <--operator.

Front

How should keywords be written in pseudocode?

Back

All keywords should be written in capital letters.

Front

What is the purpose of using consistent naming in pseudocode?

Back

To ensure that pseudocode is easily understandable by others.
